Disgusting net event of the Month: Flash Game Makes Players Beat Up "Tropes vs. Women" Creator - Polidicks

[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;36682449]Well I traded tf2 items for some of those games but ok[/QUOTE] ok dude but you're arguing what she should do with her money while in reality you're in no position to really make that judgement at all because it's her damned choice

Yeah okay but it's not like I'm not allowed to say that it could have been put to better use

no it does actually, you're not allowed

[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;36682565]Yeah okay but it's not like I'm not allowed to say that it could have been put to better use[/QUOTE] You're allowed to say that; just like I'm allowed to say that you're wrong and should stop talking [editline]8th July 2012[/editline] you're wrong and you should stop talking

Because opinions can be wrong.

[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;36682845]Because opinions can be wrong.[/QUOTE] Yes. They can be misinformed

I don't agree completely with what she's doing. How is that misinformed

[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;36682874]I don't agree completely with what she's doing. How is that misinformed[/QUOTE] Because your reasons for not agreeing aren't very sound ones.

[QUOTE]...Any form of constructive criticism, even from fellow women, is either ignored or labelled to be sexist against her."[/QUOTE] Okay, so far so good... [QUOTE]"She claims to want gender equality in video games, but in reality, she [b]just wants to use the fact that she was born with a vagina to get free money and sympathy[/b] from everyone who crosses her path."[/QUOTE] Whoops.

I honestly laughed at this part. [quote]"She claims to want gender equality in video games, but in reality, she just wants to use the fact that she was born with a vagina to get free money and sympathy from everyone who crosses her path."[/quote] I still don't see why this is such a goddamn big deal.

[QUOTE=EpikEnvy2.0;36683574] I still don't see why this is such a goddamn big deal.[/QUOTE] why are you posting if you don't care and have nothing worth reading to contribute

[QUOTE=Dori;36682220][url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/thepwnapple/games?tab=all[/url] why don't you stick it to her and practice what you preach[/QUOTE] He bought those over months, and years. He also EARNED the money, but she just put up a donation thing, and is making a video. Seeing as it has 0% transparency, she could be doing literally anything with the money. [editline]9th July 2012[/editline] Although it still is her choice, and she has every right to make it.

[QUOTE=Dori;36683604]why are you posting if you don't care and have nothing worth reading to contribute[/QUOTE] Because I'm allowed too and it's my opinion, which, given that this thread is full of opinions, does in fact, contribute. Why are you posting if you're just commenting that [i]I[/i] don't have anything to contribute? Hypocrite. [sp]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXT6ypSR6NQ&feature=player_detailpage#t=28s[/sp]

Again with the fucking money argument? I'd like to voice two things here: 1. She didn't ASK for all the money she got, and it's stupid that people are literally acting like she DID 2. On the other hand, saying [URL="http://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/tu-quoque"]"Well, what about YOUR spending habits"[/URL] to other people who raise this is comparing two entirely different situations. One asked for the money from a kickstarter and came up with over 26 times what she asked for and the other [sup](I'm probably making stupid assumptions here aren't I?)[/sup] worked for their money, which probably isn't getting them about 26 times what they need to handle their expenses for what they need to do (pay bills, taxes etc.)

[sp] Why question is why is everyone getting so fired up over the fact that this woman got loads of money from dumb people to basically do whatever the fuck it is she wants? It's not YOUR money. I mean, granted, the second I found out about this I groaned so hard I think I punctured a lung, but still.[/sp] Can someone enlighten me?

I too have never understand all the fury that comes from kickstarter projects.

Sounds awesome. This "thing" she was trying to get money for will only be total shit. The whole 'feminist' thing is fucking garbage. Sure, they want equal rights, which they got more than 50 years ago, but if you ever listen to one of them talk or see their internet posts, they say some of the worst, offensive, and malicious shit I have ever seen. They're also some of the dumbest people that exist. I once saw an article about how their husbands are when they use toothpaste and it just screamed fucking stupid.

boohoo feminists

Now, if they're talking about games that like, blatantly objectify women (I'm looking at you Duke Nukem) then I can sort of see their point about equality. But foooor let's say something like Dead Space for example, do they want to see more female Necromorphs or some bullshit like that? A lot of games while, having male protagonists, also find ways to include women into the script as helpful (sometimes insanely badass) characters. They make it sound like when they pick up The Legend of Zelda that Zelda herself is in a revealing bikini serving Link beer.

This is dumb. Sometimes the Internet users that participate in this should really look at what the hell they're doing. I feel like there's just a mob mentality and happens 90% of the time with issues that happen on the Internet.

I was primarily agreeing about the last part and how some feminist rantings can be a bit...off.

Because I have a feeling that people made a bigger fuss about Duke Nukem than Dead Space for feminist issues. So I'm guessing she probably will too.

feminist rantings such as.......

[QUOTE=RichyZ;36683874]except in games that actually have a cast of women that isn't 1 chick with an eyepatch (see; not dead space), you will generally run into a bunch of stereotypical tropes (HELP I CANT DO SHIT BECAUSE IM WOMAN OW MY NAILZ HEY MAIN CHARACTER I LIKE UR BIG STRONG ABS LETS FUCK IF YOU CHOOSE ALL OF THE SUAVE OPTIONS)[/QUOTE] Fucking died laughing because it's true, Dead Space was just an example however. You raise a good point. Trying to think of other women. The rebel leader from Fable III comes to mind immediately.

[QUOTE=thisispain;36683890]feminist rantings such as.......[/QUOTE] The stupider ones, such as the Toothpaste one. [sp]Y'know, what I agreed with that I thought it [b]WAS[/b] stupid?[/sp]

[QUOTE=EpikEnvy2.0;36683923]The stupider ones, such as the Toothpaste one.[/QUOTE] That's the problem: [I]what[/I] toothpaste one?

The lego one sarkeesian talked about was really dumb

[sp]No, I don't hate feminists or feminism, I hate the radical feminists who blow shit way out of proportion. And, to me, this sounds like radical feminism. If you think there's something wrong with how women are portrayed in games today, that's fine, but don't swindle 16+k out of people to change absolutely nothing about it. Now, if you'll pardon me, this thread has left a bad taste in my mouth.[/sp]
